Elijah Adebayo helps Luton Town achieve Premier League history
Luton Town won their first-ever Premier League game, condemning Everton to defeat in the process.
The goal against Bournemouth was Adebayo’s third goal in three games, making him the first Luton player to score in three consecutive Premier League matches.
The significance of Adebayo's accomplishment becomes even more apparent when we consider Luton’s history. The 25-year-old is also the first player to score in three top-flight matches in a row for Luton since Mick Harford in April 1992 when the Hatters played their last season in the English top flight before this season.

The echoes of history resonate through the achievement, highlighting Adebayo's impact on the club and drawing parallels with one of its iconic players.
Adebayo has been a pivotal member of the squad since joining Luton in 2021 from Walsall and was instrumental in the Hatters reaching the Premier League for the first time in their history and the English first-tier league for the first time since 1992.
